0:00.0	Welcome to the Roadwire Fantasy Baseball podcast.
0:04.5	I'm your host, James Anderson, and I'm joined for my annual chat with Tim McLeod to go over the Asian imports.
0:15.9	Really excited to have you, Tim.
0:17.9	How you doing?
0:19.2	I'm doing good, James.
0:20.4	Thanks for having me. I always look forward to this, to this chat.

1:22.9	And I'm looking forward to somebody officially saying he's posted.
1:26.5	There's a lot of surmising and anticipation that he will be, and I believe he will be posted.
1:32.5	But once you get that official thing out of the way, that makes it a little clearer.
1:37.2	But as far as a skill set, he is the best pitcher we've seen come over, not including, of course,
1:46.8	Shio Donnie, but since Tanaka with the Yankees. We're talking about a pitcher that he throws
1:57.6	mid-90s fastball, a great forcball.
